When Trump Tweets
(Played to the tune, “When Sly Calls,”
by Michael Franks)
When Trump tweets,
Mo’ scowls furrow
When Trump tweets,
the scandals grow
As rumors shake,
idle sits the Boss
Bankrupt morality
is the grifter cost
When Trump tweets,
the rubles spin
When Trump tweets,
the dictators win
Decorum falls,
indecency begins
And on Fox tv the jokers grin
to complete the mockery of Stalin democracy each time
When Trump tweets
(Don’t touch that send) Dub over Chorus
(Don’t touch that send)
(Don’t touch that send)
(Don’t touch that send)
His fingers are near, Chorus:
tapping out his ego rage
The words you fear
darken the digital stage
He’s flying north
for rallies and taunting
(A gambling resort)
Listen to the message when comes the chortling
(Don’t you dare touch that send)
When you reach the
(Don’t you dare touch that send)
When you reach the
(Don’t you dare touch that send)
When you reach the end
(Trump voice-over sounding upbeat)
Hello, citizens ...
I got some bad news for you
When Trump tweets,
underdog becomes top cat
When Trump tweets,
rat packs now gnaw attack
As rumors quake,
Enquirer minds doubt
His ‘Publican house
fears impeach fallout
When Trump tweets,
Putin truth is Oval spoken
When Trump tweets,
debts due come Russian in
Chaos is replete,
as normalcy fades
Lower the bar for scruple downgrades
Then parrot snooze with no canary alarm to coal mine choose
When Trump tweets
(Don’t touch that send)
(Don’t touch that send)
(Don’t touch that send)
(Don’t touch that send) Repeat Dub over Chorus
Repeat Chorus
